    Sunday Cup

    Just back from refereeing my first Sunday game of the season, I usually just do Saturdays. I knew it was going to be one sided after looking up both teams on Full Time but I approached it with an open mind. The "stronger" team won 10-2 after being 8-0 up at half time but their behaviour...

    Pitch Inspections

    Appointed to a very rare game at the back of my house today. County Cup quarter final. I got up early to do a pitch inspection, went back to bed then did another an hour later. All from the comfort of my own home! In all honesty, I did go over and do a proper check. It was great to not have to...

    Funny warm up

    I saw a team of three officials warming up before their game on Saturday. As they started to do their shuttles a couple of kids behind the barrier were copying them. Now, I didn't have time to get my phone and record it (I was too busy laughing). If I had recorded it I wouldn't have posted it...

    Mad dissent

    Home team leading 5-0 with half an hour to go and concede a free kick. After the whistle the home centre half launched the ball over by the club house. Easy yellow card for dissent as he had plenty of time to stop and think. 15 minutes later at 6-0 the home left back overlapped but I blew for...

    Cup Final 20th April

    I went to watch a league cup final tonight. @Cheshire Ref did a great job in the middle and @James Long was equally good as senior assistant. I don't think anyone noticed you drop your flag on the floor mate! Ha ha. Great work lads.

    Referee kit

    So, today I was at one of those multi pitch facilities. There must be around 20 pitches there and about half of them being used. It was a wet and windy morning but not cold, around 12 degrees. I noticed the referee on the next pitch to me had a smart regulation Nike kit comprising shirt...

    Whitehawk v Stourbridge FA Cup

    Thoughts on the timing of the final whistle? 1-1, last ditch attack. A Whitehawk forward lets rip with a goal bound shot and the ref blows for full time before the ball lands in the net. My feeling is that, although correct in law, it was a poor time to blow the whistle.

    DOGSO yellow card

    I had my first DOGSO yellow card yesterday. It was a nailed on penalty but a clear attempt to challenge for the ball which was mistimed. I think this is actually a decent law change now I have had an opportunity to use it.

    Another confused player

    Yesterday's game red v blue. Red 2 and blue 5 had just been cautioned for a bit of handbags. From the restart the ball was played into red goal area and the keeper caught it. Had he not, blue 9 would have been deemed offside as he was attempting to play the ball. I shouted "advantage keeper...

    USA v Sweden KFTPM

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/37066215 Has anyone seen the antics of the USA keeper before Sweden's last penalty? If Sweden scored then they would win. I don't know the story behind it but the USA keeper decided she needed to change her gloves before the kick could be taken. When the...

    First day of the new season

    So, I'm really looking forward to Saturday's fixture. Two new clubs in the league and the home secretary has confirmed the arrangements and asked if I'll be staying for food after the game. It sounds good so far doesn't it? Oh no it doesn't! I received an email alert from Full Time late last...

    Sunday football on Thursday

    I refereed a Sunday league game yesterday evening and wondered if any of you have noticed how different the behaviour of the players is for midweek games. Very little backchat, no reckless tackles, good banter between the players themselves. Could it be because they had been at work all day...

    About Time

    Hi everyone. I've been a long time watcher but thought it's about time I joined in. Looking forward to some good debate, although with the current weather it won't be about one of my matches!
